Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, "Tavern" (1909) |
I remember my first erections. I thought I had some terrible disease or something.
I remember how good a glass of water can taste after a dish of ice cream.
I remember when I went to a "come as your favorite person" party as Marilyn Monroe.
I remember a dream I have had often of being able to fly. (Without an airplane.)
I remember when I worked in an antique-junk shop and I sold everything cheaper than I was supposed to.
I remember the clock from three to three-thirty.
I remember many Septembers.
I remember when I thought that I was a great artist.
